The transcription factor OsWRKY76, is a member of rice group IIa WRKY[1][2][3].

Annotated Information

Function

  • OsWRKY76 encodes a group IIa WRKY transcription factor of rice. OsWRKY76 plays dual and opposing roles in blast disease resistance and cold tolerance. OsWRKY76 binds specifically to the W-box element. OsWRKY76 acts as a transcriptional repressor via binding to the W-box[1].


GO assignment(s): GO:0003700,GO:0005634, GO:0043565, GO:0045449

Mutation

Transgenic plants[1]:

  • Transgenic plants showed more severe symptoms, which often blasted the whole plant, compared with non-transformed control (NT) plants both in the excised leaves and in the intact plants.
  • Observations of cross-sections of the inoculated leaf blades revealed that in NT plants, the spread of mycelia was generally limited to the spaces between motor cells and vascular tissues at 4 dai.
  • In W76-OX plants, however, the mycelia vigorously spread into parenchymatous tissues in addition to motor cells and vascular tissues, causing a collapse of the parenchyma, and hyphae already spread over the leaf surface at 4 dai
  • These results indicate that the constitutive overexpression of OsWRKY76 suppresses basal resistance to M. oryzae to a large extent.

Expression

  • The expression of OsWRKY76 was induced within 48 h after inoculation with rice blast fungus (Magnaporthe oryzae), and by wounding, low temperature, benzothiadiazole, and abscisic acid[1].
  • OsWRKY76 showed sequence-specific DNA binding to the W-box element in vitro and exhibited W-box-mediated transcriptional repressor activity in cultured rice cells. Overexpression of OsWRKY76 in rice plants resulted in drastically increased susceptibility to M. oryzae, but improved tolerance to cold stress. Microarray analysis revealed that overexpression of OsWRKY76 suppresses the induction of a specific set of PR genes and of genes involved in phytoalexin synthesis after inoculation with blast fungus, consistent with the observation that the levels of phytoalexins in the transgenic rice plants remained significantly lower than those in non-transformed control plants[1].
  • Overexpression of OsWRKY76 led to the increased expression of abiotic stress-associated genes such as peroxidase and lipid metabolism genes. Overexpression of OsWRKY76 increases susceptibility to the blast fungus in rice and confers cold tolerance to rice via protection of membranes from damage[1].

Subcellular localization

Green fluorescent protein-fused OsWRKY76 localized to the nuclei in rice epidermal cells, which means OsWRKY76 protein is targeted to the nucleus[1].

Evolution

  • The sequence analysis for 15 M. grisea-inducible OsWRKYs indicated that 5, OsWRKY30, OsWRKY70, OsWRKY82, OsWRKY84, and OsWRKY85, belong to WRKY group I which contains two WRKY domains(Fig. 2)[2]。 Among the WRKY group IIc family, four M. grisea-inducible WRKYs were identified, OsWRKY7, OsWRKY10, OsWRKY11, and OsWRKY67(Fig. 1). The remaining M. grisea-inducible WRKYs were included in four different groups: 'IIa' (OsWRKY62 and OsWRKY76), IIb (OsWRKY32), IId (OsWRKY83), and III (OsWRKY45 and OsWRKY64) (Fig. 1)[2][3].

Knowledge Extension

  • The WRKY TF superfamily consists of 74 and 109 members in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) and rice (Oryza sativa), respectively[4][5][6].
  • The current data point toward the existence of a WRKY-smRNA interactome, where on the one hand, pathogen attack triggers the expression of WRKY genes that regulate cellular smRNA populations, and on the other hand, several differentially regulated smRNAs modulateWRKY TF levels by targeting their transcripts (Fig. 2)[4].
  • During pathogen attack, smRNA-generating loci may be under the control of WRKY TFs; at the same time, WRKY abundance may be regulated by smRNAs. RdR, RNA-directed RNA polymerase(Fig. 2)[4].
